As they near the end of their useful life in the next few years, all of the medium density multiple dwellings along the east side of the railroad should be converted to townhomes or patio homes that are more consistent with the neighborhood. The medium density multiple along the north side of W65th Street should be expanded by conversion of five single family residences in order to provide additional parking and landscaped area. The five single family residences on the west side of Harriet Avenue between W64th and W65th should be converted to commercial (C -C) to provide for additional development and parking for that developed area. The eight single family dwellings between Harriet and Grand, and the four along the west side of Garfield between W63rd and 1 -35W, should be converted to high density (RSF -H) as transitional uses. Garfield park is a nearly block long, 75 -foot wide strip of land that does accomodate a tot play lot but all other park uses intrude on the neighboring lots. The 95 PLAN shows the acquisition of five single family lots in order to provide a site of about one acre in a square shape. The north half of the existing park could be added to the medium density multiple residential development already in place to the west. b. EAST 66TH STREET (HUB TO CEDAR AVE) ...... The `96 PLAN proposes to retain the existing commercial (C -C) on three of the fo 6K corners at W66th and Portland. The northeast corner, however is shown to be acquired as a site for a new FIRE STATION NO. 1. Commercial (compatible with park activities) and high density residential fill out existing private land to the north, wher the City should trade and with developersin order to provide rpore spaee_a round th 1 '•... - wren esir [e. s!.es along he south side of 1766th' Street across from erans Park should be converted to high quality town or patio homes as the existing multiple dwellings and commercial sites near the end of their useful lives. The 12th Ave intersection should remain as a commercial corner, extending a full block to 13th Avenue on both sides of W66th. The remaining three block to the east should be limited to office uses. Single family high density (RSF -H) should serve as transition uses on all sides of the commercial and office areas. After the new FIRE STATION is occupied, the current City Hall and Public Safety Building should be redesigned to utilize the fire station space for community activities The three existing homes along Portland should be added to the Memorial Park site. to make up for the expanded City Hall parking area west of the building. T -HE BRAUER GROUP, INC ..................... drafone2 ........................................ PAGE ONE -21 D R A F T '96 comprehensive plan update 1/1/96 volume one ................executive summary West 76th Street carries very high traffic volumes today, and the increased density and character of the development in the proposed '96 PLAN will add even more traffic, particularly between Penn and 1 -35W. For that reason the '96 PLAN proposal would close (or limit movements to right -in and right -out only) all of the intersections east of Penn except Logan and Newton Avenues, and relocate the service road by combining it with the freeway ramp, to improve the safety and movement of local and through traffic. Improvement of W76th Street west of Penn will follow the ALTERNATE ONE" plan adopted by the City Council for widening and repaving. The proposed bike /hike trail could be included in the widened street itself but would be much better if it is designated as part of the sidewalk in the north boulevard. Existing land uses would remain west of Penn Avenue, except the one residence on the corner of W76th and Sheridan would be included in the R -MM, and the Tennis Club and service station would be included in the C -R designation. Current plans for the improvement of 1 -494 will result in the elimination of the service roads both east and west of Penn. This will improve traffic flow on Penn Avenue between 1 -494 and W76th with only one, signalized, "Tee" intersection at W77th . 4.0 PART FOUR ............ .................Implementation 4.1 ANNUAL PLAN REVIEW ................will be prepared by staff and presented as full agenda for a special meeting of the Plan Commission each year.
